Wine Details
Impenetrably black, it offers up a remarkably intense and vibrant nose of licorice, blackberry and toasty oak framed by the yin-yang of sweet florals and scorched earth. Throughout the aromas, there is an ever-shifting and resounding woody spice/loam/mountain sage quality. Rich black fruit rides lush tannins and toasty oak in a long, heady finish.

I think it’s fair to say Howell Mountain Cabernets built to an even remotely “culty” standard will run you well over $85/bottle, with the new “target” price somewhere in the $150-$175 range. If you take into consideration the surgical vineyard management, 3-ton fermenters, and $1200 French oak barrels involved in the production of this wine, without hesitation I can tell you that Lot 605 is an utterly insane bargain at $35/bottle. Need more convincing? Located 1800 feet up above the valley, Las Posadas Vineyard is literally 500 feet away from Dave Abreu’s also named “Las Posadas” (ahem, $600/bottle) to the north and the legendary La Jota to the south.
